Do You Really Want to Die?
I know that is a very harsh question but in today's time this question must be addressed.
I have never seen or heard about so many people killing themselves as I have heard within these last few years.
How does someone get to that point? We have all endured some very tough times.
But why does someone pull themselves up by their bootstraps and the another person kill themselves.
I think one of the main reasons is because so many people feel hopeless or that no one cares about them.
They carry the weight of the world on their shoulders and when that weight gets to heavy they think the only solution is to take their own life.
How can you be that selfish.
I know that may be a shocking statement but do you ever think about the mother, father, brother, sister or friend that was left behind trying to pick up the broken pieces.
That mother, father, husband or wife is now in a state of depression trying to cope with the loss, constantly asking themselves what could they have done.
Now they are carrying something that they should not have to.
I will be honest and say that thank God I have not been to the place of wanting to commit suicide but I have been extremely depressed.
So why didn't I think about committing suicide? Am I stronger than the other person? The answer is no.
Did I have a better support system? Maybe.
But the only reason why I did not think about committing suicide is because of one reason only, JESUS.
Once I allow him to come into my life it did not stop tragedy from happening but I knew that I could talk to him about anything I was feeling and cast by troubles/weights upon him.
In Psalms 55:22 "it says cast your burden upon the Lord and he will sustain you".
What that really means is WHATEVER you are dealing with no matter how big or small give it to God and he will sustain you.
Psalms 34:4 says " I sought the LORD, and He heard me, And delivered me from all my fears".
But in order to have this personal relationship with God you must first accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior.
How do I do this you ask? Just repeat below.
